Pop-up Flower Cards for Valentine’s

February 3, 2009

Created two pop-up cards to give to Mica and Rinoa on Valentine’s Day.

FLOWER BASKET POP-UP CARD

The actual flower basket that pops up in the card is made up of 12 pieces. I cut the pieces from white cardstock using an x-acto knife.
Then I gave the flowers and leaves some color using brush pens.
This is what the inside of the card looks like. The flower basket is attached to the card on two points with a thread that you wouldn’t really notice.
The outside of the card has a simple design so it wouldn’t compete with the intricacy of the flower basket.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS POP-UP CARD

This card is simpler than the first one. The design is cut-out from the actual folding card.
I used brush pens and rub-ons to color the branches and flowers. The metallic rub-on gave the flowers a subtle, glittery shine. I used a Sharpie to give the branches some shadow.
Like the first card, the outside of this card has a simple design so as not to overpower the pop-up inside.

WOW!! These pop-up cards are great! And your cutting, especially the fence parts, is done to perfection. You didn’t say whether or not you had stamps or templates to follow. I’d really like to know. If you didn’t have either one then you are even more talented than the eye can see!!

Oh my goodness, what a beauty… both of them. And, I love the simplicity of the fronts as well!! Have you considered selling templates of these? God did give you quite a talent, and you use it well. God bless.
